Top 5 Rudest Things You Can Do at Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving is a time to gather with loved ones, share a meal, and express gratitude. However, certain behaviors can disrupt the harmony of the occasion. Here are some actions to avoid at the Thanksgiving table:

1. Using Cellphones: Etiquette experts agree that using a cellphone at the table is one of the rudest things you can do.
2. Bringing Large Leftover Containers Without Prior Agreement: Arriving with large containers for leftovers without discussing it with the host can be presumptuous and inconsiderate.
3. Offering Unsolicited Cooking Advice: Providing cooking tips without being asked can come off as rude and undermine the host’s efforts.
4. Bringing Ingredients for Dishes That Complicate the Host’s Preparations: Introducing new ingredients or dishes without prior coordination can disrupt the host’s planning and kitchen workflow.
5. Repeatedly Asking to Help: While offering assistance is polite, insisting repeatedly can become intrusive and may stress the host.

By being mindful of these behaviors, you can contribute to a more pleasant and respectful Thanksgiving gathering.
